      I have been to 2 sleep clinics and the Drs. said I have good sleep hygiene. I can’t fall asleep unless I take a pill. Once I’m asleep, I don’t wake up.

        Hello Ccteach622! Sleep hygiene doesn’t really do anything once we have chronic insomnia — sleep hygiene is more about reducing the risk of sleep disruption rather than fixing it. So, it’s no surprise that you have good sleep hygiene but are still unhappy with your sleep.

        You said you can’t fall asleep unless you take a pill — if you didn’t take a pill but forced yourself to stay awake for 10 days straight, do you think you would still be unable to fall asleep without a pill?

        Have you asked any of your doctors about cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)?
